As a civil society organization, BEKAM discusses the topics that need to be negotiated to create a vision for the future in one-month periods. In the planned meetings, it is aimed to create an analytical evaluation opportunity about the issues discussed with experts in their fields and people with different perspectives. It is planned to determine the title of the sessions, to identify the participants related to the title, to create the sub-headings of the subject to be discussed, to prepare the physical environment required for the meetings, to determine the rapporteurs and to prepare the final report.MethodologyWe adopt a participatory and collaborative planning methodology that aims to create a common mind. It is aimed to reveal the most ideal scenarios without breaking away from reality and to transform them into innovative strategies with participants (twenty people) who are experts in their fields, who are responsible for their claims and claims.Participant ProfileParticipants are determined by the organizing committee. People who have read about the subject to be searched by focusing on, who have articles, book chapters, etc. are specially invited. Invitees are informed about the topics to be discussed and written or oral presentations are requested, provided that they make preparations before the program.Program OutcomesRapporteurs designated by the organizing committee attend meetings in each search group and take notes. Audio recordings are taken and missing parts are completed from the audio recordings. Participants are expected to provide written as well as verbal contributions. The notes taken are evaluated and turned into a final report. At the end of each meeting, a meeting report is prepared for no more than one month and published as a PDF. At the end of the year, it is planned to publish the BEKAM FOCUS GROUP MEETINGS REPORT for the 2023-2024 period, which includes all meeting reports, as a book.
